Football – How the game has evolved (Part 2)
However, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson has proven that individual skill is not the only thing you need to win games and by playing individually average players last season, the Scotsman helped his team win the Premier League.
Compared to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 in terms of skill. The only thing that separates the
two players is the age and the experience that Puyol has; as Vidic is still younger than him and has more years left in him.
The philosophy of team play was started by the Dutch team back in 1972. With a player like Johan Cruyff, the Dutch players still managed to build such a game that they did not rely on a single player. Even though this happened back in 1970s, the coaches
started to learn from it once the game started to evolve.
The game evolved when the defensive strategies of the Italians started to fail. The game evolved when the possession keeping Brazilians started to lose games. The game evolved when the brutal ways of getting into the next round for the Argentineans started
to fail and when the Germans started to show how they can penetrate all the defences in the world with the help of quick passing football.
If we look at the history of international football, the Germans have always been a step ahead of all the other teams. Even though the players have not been individually as strong as the Brazilians or the Italians, they still managed to reach the semi final
stage of the tournament.
Taking an example from the FIFA World Cup 2010, the only German star that was known to the whole world was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miroslav-Klose-c26049. However, the Germans still managed to reach the semi final stage of the tournament with the help of their young players. This was not
because they were individually brilliant but because they were simply extraordinary while playing with each other. Their no-look passing ability was simply flawless and the way they got rid of teams like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 was simply phenomenal.
With football evolving in such a way, birth was given to a coach like Jose Mourinho. Even though the Portuguese tactician was a weak player back in his times, he simply knew how to get things done by keeping his whole team going. Not only is he referred
to as one of the best coaches in the world at the moment. In fact, he is usually considered to be one of the best of all times – right next in line with managers like Sir Alex Ferguson, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 Lippi, Johan Cruyff, Bruce Hiddink and Luis Van Gaal.
Jose Mourinho is often seen blowing his own trumpet about how great a manager he is. However, there is no one to get back at him because he has proven himself time and time again.
